2.8 OPERATING SIDERAILS AND ENDRAILS
To avoid injury, ensure the patient’s extremities are clear of all moving parts before operating a
rail. Verify the rail is securely locked after moving it.
The rails must always remain in the highest position and the litter in the lowest position unless a
patient is being tended. Never leave a patient unattended when the rails are lowered.
To avoid falls and injury, verify the rails and access doors are properly locked into position
before leaving a patient unattended or after having moved a rail or an access door.

For safety, the siderails and endrails will not go any lower
than 9" when being lowered from the upper positions, even if
the handle is still rotated.
•

handle (A). Do not activate the trigger or rotate the
handle. Pull the rail up to the desired height. The rail will
lock into one of the three available positions, 9", 14" and
26". A "click" will be audible as available locking
positions are crossed.

knobs) show green when the door is closed and locked into position. If either open/close
